FInal Fantasy 7

Grand Theft Auto 3

Street Fighter 2

Were big ones for me.

 

[fart town usa]

Resident Evil 6.

Has there ever been a playable/polished trainwreck of that magnitude? I'll always be in awe of the production values and the absolute shit show that game is.

[Rush2112]

Noticed how all the posts are of old games? Its because this doesnt happen anymore.

 

[Tams]

Age of Empires II is the only correct answer.

RuneScape 2 was a massive step up, I guess.

 

[Lady Jane]

I've always considered Assassin's Creed 2 the golden standard of a sequel. Too bad it was also the peak of the series.

I have a lot of faith in Dragon's Dogma 2.

It's the sequel to the director's dream game, who couldn't see his vision realized with the first one since the game got released with not even half of the content that was planned for it.

If he manages to pull it of this time, it might be the best open world RPG ever made.

Pfffft halo 2

Basically normalized online gaming on consoles, and as a result changed the whole industry

aped doom aesthetics and was derivative but sure

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Gravity rush 2

Everyone knows the answer is Street Fighter II.

 

[Gojiira]

The very first post should have been MGS1, revolutionised gaming and how its presented, its a legendary sequel by definition.
Secondly MGS2 for obvious reasons and subversive reasons.
Then of course MGS3…Obvious reasons.

Other Legendary sequels, Ocarina of Time, Resident Evil 2 and 4, Tomb Raider 2, Fallout New Vegas.

 

[Werewolf Jones]

The first direct sequels to a game in the series and the swan song for Pokemon in terms of quality. 3D killed Pokemon.

 

[Woggleman]

GTA III-It changed the landscape of gaming

Street Fighter II-It changed the fighting genre

Red Dead 2-Might be Rockstar's last great single player game

 

[Danknugz]

it revolutionized console gaming and is arguably the biggest follow up in gaming history

absolutely. just saying there's a flip side to that coin. it also ushered in an entire standard of playing fps with a controller instead of a mouse. some would call that regressive not revolutionary (yes consoles didn't have kbm but this is more about FPS and gaming in general) my comment was more about the art direction and ingenuity of the game franchise on its own, which there isn't that much of. sure, it got tons of kids into multiplayer on console. it was good for marketing, good for MS and good for kids who didn't have a PC.
